Harry’s POV

                I open the door into our condo which is huge with rustic decorations hanging from the wood log walls.  The deer antlers were hanging in the form of a chandelier and adorned the walls and coffee tables.  I breathe in the hot warm air emitting from the fireplace after a long day of skiing.

                Louis and I spent the whole morning and afternoon skiing after a big breakfast while Liam and Niall had left earlier than us and should be somewhere in the room.  I walked in the living and kitchen space and I don’t see either of them.  I look to Louis who is next to me as to what his idea was and he just shakes his head with me.

                Before I have any major time to wonder, I hear loud music emitting from outside.  I feel my entire face perking up and I look to Louis and he also seems amused, but still utterly confused.  “Is that-?” I asked him.

                “I think so,” Louis answered quietly, “I thought he hated this guy,”

                “Maybe, he still has a soft spot for him,” I suggested.  Louis shrugged while we walked to the porch.  We walked outside and sure enough, we see the most unusual sight.  Liam and Niall are both in the hot tub (and from what I can tell, naked) with Niall belting out to Justin Bieber’s “Baby” and Liam looking really depressed slowing picking a flower petal by petal.

                As soon as Niall sees us, he instantly stops the song and his face turns beet red.  “So you’re still a Belieber?  I thought you were over this phase,” I joked to him smirking.

                “No,” Niall denied nervously, “I was just…singing for the fun of it,”

                “Yeah, yeah, we all know what song that was,” Louis waved dismissively, “What are you doing over there, bloke?” Louis called Liam.  Liam looked up with the saddest puppy dog eyes known to mankind.

                “I’m just using it to figure out if Sarah loves me,” Liam answered pitifully.

                “Aw come on, cheer up!  You can’t be such a grumpy pants on vacation, lad!  There are other birds out there!” Louis encouraged.

                “But Sarah is the only bird I want,” Liam whimpered almost to near tears.  He has gotten really close to crying and I know the day he does, we need to convince Sarah to give him another chance.  Louis walked over to Liam and patted him on the back.

                “You all should join us join in the hot tub.  It’s nice in this cold weather,” Niall pointed out to the cloudy weather above us.

                “Ok, we’ll have to change first,” I whined.

                “Or you can just strip like we did, up to you,” Niall told us.  I exchanged looks with Louis and I mouthed going to the room and he nodded.

                “Ok, we’re headed to the room,” I answered him.  I opened the door to the room and Louis and I walked to our room.  To change things up a bit, I’m rooming with Louis and Niall is rooming with Liam since Zayn is not here.  It’s nice change from what is usual at the dorms.  Silently, we took off layer by layer until both of us were stark naked. 

                We scrubbed any snow still left on our big coats and we walked outside and quickly got inside the hot tub water since it was below zero degrees Celsius outside easy.  I sat in between Niall and Liam on one side while Louis sat on the opposite side of me.  All of us had our wall of the hot tub, so it wasn’t crowded between the four of us.
